Twilio’s Dazzling IPO Debut

Last week, voice and text messaging platform Twilio made a spectacular IPO debut on the New York Stock Exchange. The company originally set its IPO price as $15, but, after just an hour, Twilio stock was selling for $23.99 per share, and closed at $28.79 – an increase more than 90%. In celebration of its IPO, Twilio invited three developers to the NYSE to build apps live at the exchange using the company’s platform.

Huawei Allegedly Developing its Own OS

Though the mobile OS wars are widely agreed to be over, with Apple and Google the victors, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei is allegedly developing its own operating system. Although the company is the third-largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, it’s gotten flack for the design of its Android skin. What’s more, Huawei lacks credibility in markets outside of China. Producing its own OS could help the company gain traction in other markets and acts as a safety net in case the company’s Android deal falls through.
